That sounds like you were lucky or I'm unlucky, I purchased Adel doors in white, 30 of them in all sizes and everyone is warped to some extent, the worst being 6mm out, 4 of the doors have been changed once and the new ones are warped. I don't know which way to turn as I had a hard job getting them changed in the first place, I had to write to the chief executive to get that sorted. I've only had the kitchen 1 year so I dread to think what they are going to like in the next 4 years.
Welcome to IKEAFANS!!!
So sorry that yo've had that issue to deal with.
If the others are warped as well and you have been in contact with the chief executive, then you're already one step ahead in the game. Contact him again, and explain what is going on. This should not be happening. Since he dealt with you n the past, I'm sure he remembers or has a file somewhere with your info.
Are you considering changing all door fronts to a different one?
thanks for this post...just what I joined ikeafans for.
We are headed to Ikea Friday to look at the quality of the Nexus Brown black. Any suggestions? Very happy to hear they are good and can hold up.
I also wanted to add to this another comment about IKEA quality. I have a 20' cargo trailer that I use as a mobile workshop and deliver partially assembled kitchens. When I bought that trailer, I installed two four-drawer 36" base cabinets for storage. The drawers are loaded with extra IKEA parts and one is loaded with probably 50 lb of screws. The cabinets have about 10,000 miles without any issues. If the IKEA boxes can take the abuse of driving over the pot-holed New England roads, I think they can handle sitiing in a kitchen!
Doorstyle: NEXUS biased, but will install all! Also customs :)
Re: Ikea Quality - Five Years Later
Glad to hear a good quality report on Ikea cabinets! I'm a kitchen & bath designer and got into the Ikea thing because of a client. I had no direct experience with
Ikea products
, so I started asking around. What I found was that almost all the negative reviews of Ikea were coming from people who had never owned their products. Even Consumer Reports gives a favorable nod in their cabinets section.
I'm looking forward to doing our own kitchen next year, hopefully. So true about the cobbler & his kids' shoes! I'm a freakin' kitchen designer and our kitchen is ridiculously too small and has been unchanged for 11 years! Oof.
Welcome, ecomod! You really can't get more for your money in kitchen cabinets than you do with Ikea. The limited number of sizes can be a little challenging when you're planning, but they're so flexible for modifications since everything comes ala carte, as it were. We'll all be eager to see what you come up with for your kitchen.
